Chapter 29: Jenny
Peyton knocked on Haley's door fifteen minutes later. Haley was a little surprised when she saw that she was with Jenny.
"Hey, I hope you don't mind. The nanny called in sick, and when she heard I was leaving she wouldn't let go of me." Peyton said half-apologizing, half-amused that Jenny was still attached to her leg.
"It's ok, come on in." Haley said letting them in bending down to Jenny's height she spoke to the little girl, "Hi my name is Haley. Do you want something to drink?" She asked.
Holding on to Peyton's leg she looked up silently asking if it was ok.
"It's okay Jenny, these are friends of your daddy and me." Peyton said with a smile.
"I have some juice if you want." Haley said, then Jenny gave her a small smile and nodded.
"Ok come with me." Haley said holding out her hand, glad when she took it.
"Thank you. I couldn't get her off my leg." Peyton said joking to Haley low enough that Jenny couldn't hear what they were talking about, "She's shy until you get her to open up."
"No problem," Haley said as she took Jenny to the kitchen, "Okay I have orange juice or apple. Which one?" She asked Jenny who had climbed into a chair.
"Apple juice please." Jenny said.
Nodding Haley opened the juice and started to make a glass for her and Jenny.
"Haley, was that goldilocks?" Brooke yelled from her room.
"Yes." Haley yelled back, turning to Peyton, "Will you go and watch her please, every time I've left the room my lingerie some how ends up in the bag and the rest of my stuff disappears." Haley told Peyton who laughed.
"That's Brooke for you. I'll be right back ok." She asked Jenny who nodded as she took a drink of the juice.
"So how old are you?" Haley asked as Peyton left.
"I'm four." Jenny told her.
"Four. Really wow you're a big girl." Haley said and Jenny smiled at the compliment.
"I'm going to school this year." She said, "Daddy said so."
"I'll bet you'll love it, and if you need any help you can ask me." Haley offered.
"I won't need help I'm going to do it own my own." Jenny said.
"Good for you." Haley said, "Do you want to go play dress up?" Haley asked and smiled when the Jenny's eyes lit up.
"Really?" Jenny asked.
"Yes, as soon as Peyton and Brooke are done we are going to store that has a bunch of beautiful dressed that you'll love." Haley told her.
"Is someone talking about my dresses?" Brooke asked as she walked into the kitchen, and Peyton came out a second later holding a bag for Haley.
"Yeah, I think Jenny wants to try on some clothes." Haley said.
"Yeah, can I please? I love dress up." Jenny said.
"I think I can find you something, and if I can't I'll make you one." Brooke promised.
"Ok then what are we waiting for?" Peyton asked, "Let's go." She said. As they walked to the elevators, Peyton whispered, "I managed to sneak in some jeans and t-shirts, but that's it." She apologized.
"That's great; I couldn't get a shirt in there not to mention any jeans or shorts." Haley said.
"Whatcha talking about?" Brooke asked as they stepped out of the elevators.
"Nothing." Peyton and Haley said at the same time.
"I don't believe you." Brooke said, "But I'll let it slide. Jenny what's your favorite color?" She asked changing the subject, much to Haley and Peyton's relief.
"Pink! Duh, it's the prettiest color there is." Jenny told her.
"That is very true." Brooke said, "But Haley doesn't like that color." She said as if it was a secret. Jenny looked at Haley in shock, "Why don't you like pink?" She asked.
"I don't know, come on let's get in the car." Haley said.
On the drive to Brooke's shop Jenny talked nonstop about dresses and make-up. The girls learned that Jenny put make-up on all three guys when "Uncle Nate, and Uncle Luke" came over, then they had tea parties where dressing up was mandatory according to Jenny.
"So what do you make them wear?" Haley asked very intrigued.
"I got a dress set from Grandma Karen and I make Uncle Nate wear a purple dress, Uncle Luke wears a blue one, and Daddy wears a green one." Jenny told them, "I wear the prettiest one though, it's a long, long red one and I have a crown and necklace too." She said proudly.
"That's awesome. Do you make them wear any jewelry?" Peyton asked doing her best not to laugh.
"Sometimes but they don't like too." Jenny said oblivious to the fact that all three girls were trying not to laugh.
"Here we are." Peyton said as they pulled up to the shop.
"Yea!" Jenny squealed hoping out of the car after Brooke.
Brooke opened the door and let Jenny go wild picking out what colors she wanted on a dress while she took Haley's measurements leaving Peyton to help Jenny.
"Are you really going to make her a dress?" Haley asked standing on a platform for Brooke.
"Yeah, why not? Besides if she likes it maybe she'll wear it to the wedding." Brooke replied as she finished writing down a bunch of numbers for Haley's dress, "Ok you are done. What do you think of this design?" She asked Haley showing her the sketch she made. It was a strapless, fell to the top of the drawings shoulders, and was gold with little golden lace around the top. It looked to be floor length and had a small train, and there was a slit that ran from the side of the bottom up to mid-thigh. Brooke had stapled a little piece of the material and lace to the picture.
"That is gorgeous Brooke!! I can't wait to see the real dress." Haley exclaimed, "What are you making for you and Peyton?" She asked.
"Well I finished Peyton's already. It's aqua and has straps that cross in the back, and is floor length. Mine is a violet one that only goes across one shoulder, also floor length. I want you to be the only one with a train since you are hosting the event." Brooke said.
"Can I see Peyton's?" Haley asked getting excited, the charity event she was hosting was a big deal and all the proceeds were going to be split between four of New York women's shelter homes that didn't have very good security guarding the women. It was a huge event and they had a lot of stars coming.
"No you can't see Peyton's dress. She can't even see it until she puts it on. I don't want to jinx them." Brooke said.
"Ok that's cool." Haley said stepping down off the platform; she had forgotten how superstitious Brooke was about her dresses. "Let's go find Peyton and Jenny." She said.
As soon as they stepped out of her office, Jenny rushed up to Brooke hold a bright pink fabric and a small bag of glitter. "I want my dress this color and sparkly please." She asked Brooke handing it over to her.
"Okay I can do that." Brooke said then cut some of the fabric and turned it into a dress, "Here put this on over your clothes and stand here." Brooke said giving Jenny a mock dress that she made out of the fabric Jenny gave her floor after Jenny put in on. Peyton helped her get on the platform so she wouldn't trip. "Okay, where do you want the glitter?" Brooke asked as she started to take her measurements.
"All over!" Jenny said excitedly looking in the mirror.
"Ok. Hold still for a sec ok." Brooke said as she finished her measurements, "Ok I have what I need and I'll make it as soon as I can." Brooke promised.
"Yeah, and after you have the dress we can help with your hair and make-up." Haley offered.
"Really? Thank you! I can't wait!" Jenny said and took off the fake dress and gently handed it back to Brooke, "Be careful with it." Jenny said seriously.
"I promise I won't mess it up." Brooke said putting the 'dress' in a closet.
While Brooke was measuring Haley and Jenny she walked around the store, and picked out a white formal dress.
"Brooke, what's this?" Peyton asked showing it her.
"A dress, duh." Jenny said sarcastically, making Haley and Brooke laugh.
"It was suppose to be for a girl for prom, unfortunately when she saw it she thought it was to white, and pure for her." Brooke said rolling her eyes, "She blamed me for the color she picked out. Stupid little bit…birdie." Brooke said catching herself before she said "bitch" in front of Jenny causing Haley and Peyton to laugh.
"What's so funny?" She asked confused.
"Brooke's just a funny person." Peyton said holding the dress up, "So are you selling this?" She asked Brooke.
"Yeah, why?" Brooke asked, the dress was more of a wedding dress then a prom dress.
"I thought it was a wedding dress and you don't usually make those." Peyton said, putting it back. "It's a good design though."
"Thanks, I was thinking about making it a shirt and skirt…" Brooke said and she got an idea, "Give it." She said to Peyton, "I'll only be an hour, two tops." She said going into her office and shutting the door behind her before anyone could say anything to stop her.
"See what you did." Haley said to Peyton pointing to Brooke's door.
"I didn't do anything." Peyton said defending herself. "You know Brooke she could be in the middle of an earthquake and still be making an outfit."
"Yeah, exactly like you and your art." Haley said, "Speaking of, why don't we go to your studio?" Haley suggested. "It'll be awhile before we get Brooke back."
"True, Jenny do you wanna go see some of my drawings?" Peyton asked, "You can draw or paint if you want too." She said.
"Okay." Jenny said 'these people are so cool'.
"Cool, I'll call the guys and let them know what's going on." Haley said dialing Nathan. She told him where they were and what was going on. "Nathan said that they'll come by an a little bit, they're doing something for the club." She told them.
"Ok, let's go draw." Peyton said and they walked down to Peyton's studio.
